Of Importance to Every Mer.
chant, Laborer and Producer in
Howard County.
Mr.. Sovereign who was received
with hearty applause, first thanked
the ladies who complimented him by
their presence. He thanked God
that he belonged to an organization
which demanded that equal pay be
given men and women for equal
work. He represented new political
organization which he trusted would
soon hold the reins OF government.
Working men never knowingly put a
bad law on the statute books, never
robbed the country Of an acre nor a
dollar. Working men pay the debts,
and fight the battles OF our country.
Every bad law was put on the stat.
ute books by men who did not toll
for living. He felt proud to advo.
cate a cause which champions the
cause Of the working men.
How could he prove It Is good
cause! BY this: II from this time
forth ! would oppose the Union
Labor party everv railroad monopo-
list land robber and syndicate would
applaud me. The pinkerton thugs
would applaud me. Every mean
man from the Gar to Jay Gould and
down to the devils in hell would APP.

Is not this good evidence that the
party is q good one!-that something

What il the object Of government
What does it doy Does it fertilize
the soil, No. Governments do not
melt the frosts OF winter or bring
forth the fruits Of spring. Govern.
ments are to protect the weak against
the encronchments of the strong.
Nowadays the rich and strong are
permitted to take advantage Of the
weak. Quail on toast for one and
hell on earth to another.
Those who toll the most have the
least, and those who toll least have
the most. The American people are
an industrious and ingenious people.
Fine cities all over the country.
Warehouses bursting with produce.
The speaker then dwelt on Ameri
can inventions. With all OF then
the hours OF toll have not been shor.

pie increased. Social comforts have
not kept pace with material improve
ment. American labor has beer

tween the stream and the frying par
has been stealing it. Was opposed

divided the fellows that stole It ono,
would steal it again, and l dom

On the questions OF the age ever,
political party must chose sides
Wall street and Iowa are on opposite
sides. Wall street means wealth
without labor. No political part,
can serve Wall street and the pro
ducers at the same time. There ar,
three distinct parties. l find no faul

party. What has been done, was b,
tricksters and chicanery. The mas

The Democratic party parade
Jeffersonian simplicity. Well, Al
appeal was made to this Democrats
administration for aid for the starv
ing people In Texas, and Mr.. Cleve
land answered that this is not
lpaternal government Well the lie
galized thieves got into trouble. Tn
promoters Of wheat corners an,
Wall street appealed to this Demo
cratic administration. The answe
then was: This il a paternal govern
ment, and the money was poured on
of the treasury to aid them. don
say the Democratic party was wronI
in aiding the moneyed men. / bu
show which side it il on, and shower
lfavors on the rich, but none on TIL
poor. Ten days after the appeal wa
made for Texas, blankets, tents an,
provisions are sent to the horde Q
Indians who are blessing to societ
only when dead. l think such favor
should be bestowed on the industri
GUS ones who are . blessing to societ,
when alive.

Why doesn't it pay the pensions Q

/ The Republican party In Iowa ha.
a ticket in the field. At the head o
1t was William J.arrabee, . man VIII,

publican party glories in its wa
record. There IL less difference be
tween Republican and Union La

and Union Labor man. The Re
